Thanks Nelson.  Just after I sent out the question, I came up with
a workaround - exported the key/cert to a P12, imported into a JKS
keystore, generated the CSR using the existing key-pair, approved
the cert and imported the cert into the NSS database.  Worked like
a charm (of course, this wouldn't have worked with a token that
would not have given up the private key).

Glad to know that a new build of certutil will address this problem.
Thanks.
